Therapist in Greensboro, NC
We Accept Blue Cross Blue Shield
At Santos Counseling, we understand that finding the right counselor can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process simple, approachable, and stress-free, from finding the right fit to taking the first step in starting therapy. We proudly accept BCBS insurance plans as well as many other insurance plans. Our goal is to have quality mental health care accessible and affordable for Greensboro residents.
Why Insurance Matters for Therapy Access
When Santos Counseling opened its doors in 2014, the vision was simple but deeply personal. To create a place where people in Greensboro could find high-quality mental health care without feeling that support was out of reach.
For Dr. Santos, that mission is personal. As an immigrant from the Dominican Republic and the first in his family to pursue higher education, he understands what it means to face barriers while trying to build a better future. He also understands that for many individuals and families, the decision to start therapy is not just emotional. It’s financial.
No one should have to choose between getting help and paying their bills.
